A Palestinian Authority military court in Hebron has sentenced a PA Arab to death by hanging on Tuesday after he was found guilty of selling land to Israeli settlers. According to the report in Ma’an news, it is the first time a PA court has handed down a conviction for treason in a case relating to land sales.
The military court held an initial hearing session on 21 April, on the charge of “leaking lands to Israel.” The PA announced recently that it would be investigating all reports of land sales to Israelis. PA courts have convicted Arabs for collaborating with Israel in the past, usually for providing information about resistance fighters to the Israeli intelligence services.
